[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 749061, member: 23706"] JPG, I love it when Kay does NOT call me. She never texts or calls with good news. It is always poor her, begging and then abuse. Once in a blue moon I also get an apology text. That always scares me. It usually means she will be asking for something shortly. Plus she isnt sorry or she would stop doing what she does. I used to feel like her slave (really) emotionally and monetarily. I consider myself a recovering people pleaser. Since Page my niece started using me to help her through her own tough decision, a canceled wedding that is only weeks away., I actually have not exactly told her NO but my hub and I turned off our phones, are not getting involved and are getting out of town Sunday for ay least a week. I think we turned a corner and are saying "Enough!" I hope you finally get to this point too. I am not worrying that Kay will kill herself anymore. If that is what she wants to do (and I think its bluff to scare us) but she can and will kill herself if she really wants to. I am at a point of acceptance that I am powerless over everyone but myself. [/QUOTE]
